Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 108: Going north and taking the name
"Drive, drive!"
At dusk,
On the official road in the central plains, several big, muscular men were surrounding a young man as they galloped north along the official road.
The young man in the lead wears a common aristocratic feather hat and a low-key black robe. If you look closely, you can see that the black robe is extremely delicate in texture and has very delicate dark patterns on the collar. It is definitely not something ordinary people can wear. from.
"Master Gunther, it's getting dark soon. We can camp and rest when we get to the front."
"Yeah"
The young man nodded, but his mind was not here,
The young man named Gunther is the **** son of the Marquis of Orlando in the royal capital.
Although the Orlando family is not as powerful as the Lanster family, which is a top-notch noble, it is definitely among the top nobles and has a certain influence in both the Royal Capital and the House of Lords.
The young Gunther has advanced to become a knight without using the Spirit Beard Herbal Potion, which is definitely excellent,
If Gunther's talent and strength were placed in some small and medium-sized aristocratic families, whether he was a direct descendant or not, he would most likely have the chance to become the heir to the title.
Unfortunately, Gunther has no chance at Orlando's house,
Nobles like Orlando have skills that are stronger than ordinary nobles, and training resources that are difficult for others to obtain,
Although the two legitimate sons who were born earlier than Gunther were somewhat less talented, with the accumulation of various resources, especially the spirit whisker herbal medicine, they had already entered the knight level many years before Gunther.
In addition, Gunther is only a commoner, so there is no chance of inheritance at all.
The only way left for Gunther is to have a good relationship with his two direct brothers, and to assist the other after one of them inherits the title.
Marrying a daughter of a minor nobleman will help the family flourish and become another line of support for the main family.
This path is difficult for the conceited Gunther to accept, but originally it would be difficult for him to resist this arrangement,
Even if he wants to fight, he will be suppressed by his direct descendants, and his father, the Marquis of Orlando, will never support it.
But this time the chaos in the Northland allowed Gunther to see an opportunity. As a knight, as long as he went to the Northland to join the army and perform military exploits, he could obtain titles and territories and escape from his destined fate.
Without much thought, Gunther told his father, the Marquis of Orlando, his decision,
The Marquis of Orlando cannot be said to be fond of Gunther, but after all he knows that he is a little unfair to this bastard,
Before leaving, I also bought several good horses and equipment for Gunther, and sent several quasi-knight-level generals to follow him,
Compared to other knights who went to the Northland alone to join the army, Gunther still won at the starting line.
"Master Gunther, the tent has been set up, but the conditions are a bit crude. I can only make you suffer for one night."
Several of the following generals have already set up temporary camps and lit bonfires. Marquis Orlando is quite attentive. The generals assigned to Gunther all have military experience and are quite familiar with temporary camping in the wild.
"It's okay, you have all worked hard, go to bed early."
Gunther can rely on himself. He has cultivated to the knight level at such a young age. He is not a person who cannot endure hardships. Naturally, he knows that he can only make do with it in the wild. In the future, when he marches and fights in Lord Thor's army, the conditions may be uncertain. It's even more difficult.
"Master Gunther is serious."
Several family generals also breathed a sigh of relief. They were all temporarily assigned to Gunther as his subordinates, and they didn’t understand Gunther’s temper.
They have heard about the bad character of some noble young masters in the royal capital. Their wives, children and families all depend on the Orlando family to live,
You can't run away. We will soon follow Gunther to the battlefield. If someone with cerebral palsy is involved, the risk of losing his life will increase exponentially.
Fortunately, Master Gunther is acting reasonably now, and everyone is finally on their way.
It is late at night, and darkness has swallowed up the entire world. Only the bonfire in the center of the camp faintly illuminates a small area of the world.
Except for the night watchers, everyone else fell asleep quickly...
Morning, Burai City
In Sol's temporary residence,
"Sir, so far, the two newly formed legions are full, but the equipment is not yet fully equipped."
Kuz is reporting to Thor on the status of the new army.
"Let's train quickly first. If you don't have the equipment, practice the formation first. Let the nobles in the river valley make some more blood, and then let the blacksmiths in the river valley rush to build it."
"It's your lord."
Thor's words were spoken quite easily, and I don't know what kind of power it was that made this group of nobles in the river valley who only took advantage and not suffered any loss easily bleed.
"Two more knights surrendered to the army today. Among them was a young man named Gunther, the son of the Marquis of Orlando, and he also brought several attendants with him."
"Oh, the Marquis of Orlando."
The Marquis of Orlando is somewhat of a figure in the royal capital. When Kurtz mentioned it, Saul was still somewhat impressed.
But this is just an impression. For Sol to take him seriously, Marquis Orlando is obviously not qualified.
"According to the rules, let him be incorporated into the knights separately, and the attendants he brings can be placed in the new regiment to fill some officer vacancies."
"Yes, sir."
Soldiers in the river valley are easy to recruit, but the shortage of officers is not small, especially the backbone of quasi-knights.
Thor has been relying on his personal entourage and the quasi-knights who come from time to time to supplement the officers of the newly formed legion.
"Is there any news from the Northland?"
"The castles of three more noble families were captured."
"Hellburg is still surrounded, but according to the information we have now, they have enough food and should be able to survive for a while longer."
"That's good."
Thor nodded. The situation was not too bad after all. As long as Helburg could hold on, the disappearance of several minor nobles was completely acceptable to Thor.
"There is also good news. Several nobles in the North joined forces to eliminate thousands of ogres under the leadership of a young man named Richard. However, the number cannot be verified for the time being."
"Oh, which family are you from?"
The news I have heard most recently is that a certain castle was broken down by ogres, and a certain noble family was wiped out. Suddenly I heard a good news, and Sol suddenly became interested.
Especially wiping out thousands of ogres is no small victory. If there was no water, it would be enough to banish an earl.
"It's from the Hunter family."
"The Hunter family?"
To say that the Orlando family can still be remembered in Saul, the Hunter family has really never been heard of.
There are no less than a thousand lower-class nobles like the Hunter family in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, and it is certainly impossible for Thor to have an impression of all of them.
"It is the Viscount family, and their territory is in the northernmost part next to the Ironwood Forest."
"Oh? Is there anything special about this Hunter family?"
Saul asked the key point as soon as he arrived. Even if an ordinary viscount family formed a coalition with a dozen minor nobles, it would be impossible to eliminate thousands of ogres.
"Intelligence shows that there are nearly thirty knight-level warriors in the Hunter family."
Thor also has his own sources in the North,
However, it is obvious that due to the rapid growth of the Hunter family's strength, this information was already out of date not long after it was delivered.
"Hunter family, Richard..."
Saul muttered it silently, apparently having written it down in his mind.
"Continue to pay attention. Any news about the Hunter family and Richard will be sent to me in time."
"Yes, sir"
At this time, Richard, who was still far away in Ironwood City and focused on making money, had no idea that he had signed up with a big shot again.
